Generally, smooth leather docs are leather with a plastic coating/shell on top that make them more rigid and shiny and completely hides any grain of the leather. They have a bunch of different types of soft leathers which are typically leathers that don’t have the plastic coating. They usually have less structure and on some of them you can see the actual grain of the leather. The softer leather docs look better and feel higher quality imo. Smooth docs are a pain in the ASS to break in and make tolerable and look like plastic toy boots imo but I still like them sometimes.
